JORNAL-VBOX-SECURING MEANS.

Ap'plcatioiiiled January, 17, 1927.

rThe present invention relates tojournal box securing means.

The present invention relates to journal ,W v I y vld igures 9 and 10,but showing a still further boxes which are separable from the sideframes and lias reference to the. construction of sucli boxes and thesecuring means for.

An object of the provide `a construction of side thereprcsentiiiventionfis to frame and separable journal boxy which will hold thejournal box rigidly in position but which will periiiit the separationofsaid journal box :from said side straight line niovein of a certainpart of parts.

A .further object proved securing means frame with a single .nt upon theremoval is to providey an imfor a separable journal box wliiclicooperates with the parts of journal boxes as at present rovided andwhich permits removal ot the journal box in a simple straight linemovement of said A journal box relative to the side :trameL l A furtherobject is to provide means for securing a journal will coopei'ate withusually provided iior the lid 'of the journalr which willpermitseparation of said box and box to a side frame which the hingeconstriioti on journal box from its sideframe when said lid or parts ofthe hinge of said lid are re moved.

Referring to the drawings- Figuie 1 is a top plan view of part of' asidefranie having a separable 'journal box applied thereto, which frameand journal box employ the principles of the present iiivention;

Figure 13 is a view similar to Figure 12,

but showing a slight modification.

beferring first to Figures 1, 2, 3 and 11, the numeral 10 indicates aside frame having jaws 10a cates a journal box for supporting said sideframe betwen said jaws. Said side frame is provided with the tlanges 12.and 13 on the two sides thereof, which flanges areadapted to bepositioned between the'gibs 1e and 15 yformed upon the upper side o'fthe journal `the side frame and the gibs 14 andl ex tend along threesides of the journal box 11,

engaging the iianges on the side frame 10, whereby tilting or rotatingof the journal box relative to the axle and to the side frame iseffectually prevented. f

The journal box 11 is provided with the usual swinging lid 16, which lidforms a' closure for one end of said journal box 11. Said lid isswiiigingly mounted upon thepin 17, the upper portion of said box beingprovided with lugs 18-18 and the upper extremity of said lid 16 beingprovided with lugs 19-19, said lugs 18-18 and 19-19 having registeringapertures for receiving said pin 17. IThe pin 17 may be provided withcotters or other devices for removably lioldingsaid pin in position.vSaid frame 10 is provided with lateral extensions 20H20, the extremitiesof which are adapted to underlie the pin 17. As shown in Figures 1 to 1of the drawings, the extremity of the lateral extensions 20-20 aredisposed below the lugs 19-19 of the lid 16, said lugs 19-19 beingformed to clear the extremities of said lateral extensions 20-.Z0,whereby no interference is had with the movement of said the side frameis efiectually prevented.'

and 10b, and the numeral 11 indilid, Between the lugs 20-20, the journalbox 11 is Jformed with an angular portion 21 adapted to have cooperationwith the spring 22 secured to tbe litl 1G. Said spring 22 willseleetabljV lioltl tlie litl 1G in eitlier open or closed position, byreason of the engagement. ol llie Spring 22 upon llie upper or lowerxaide, ot tbe angular portion 21.
